A False Alarm.

At lO:4O o'clock Sunday evening to be
precise, an alarm of fire was sent in from
box No. "a, which is located at the Inter
Ocean. The Alert and Durant hose carts
and the Pioneer hook and ladder truck
were soon at the scene of the alleged con-
hagration.
The fire was supposed to be raging in
the basement of w. NJ. Masi's book
store. There was plenty of smoke and a
readily p%erceptible odor of burning wood,
but no flames could be found. Nearly
everyone ascribed the cause of the scare
to a disarrangoment of the electric wires
about the building, but it was impossible
to locate the break.
The Alert hose cart, manned by several
experienced men, wa placed in front of
the post office to be used In case of emer-
gency, but the wise %precaution proved to
be unnecessary.

Mr.. Davis, father of the Is year old
girl mentioned in Sunday mornings
LEADER as having stolen a horse from
Laramie the previous day, called at this
office Sunday. He stated that he was
searching for lis daughter and was under
the impression that she had boarded the
cars and was either in this city or farther
east. He said that the girl was subject
to epileptic fits and that if she had stolen
a horse at all it was while temporarily in
sane.
On the other hand a gentleman who
arrived from Laramie last evening states
that the girl in question is a holy terror,
that she rides and shoots like an exper-
fenced frontiersman and attempted to
escape from the officers after being ar
rested.
The girl not only stole a horse and
trappings, but entered the ranch home of
Clark Pelton, while the occupants OF the
house were absent and carried off a valu
able dress belonging to Mrs. Pelton.
When sighted by the officers the girl
dismounted from her horse and took ref.
uge in the brush, but was soon placed in
custody, conveyed to Laramie, and in
generated in the Albany county Jail.

STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER.
some Square Face Blows Administered
In r Scientific Way.

Lander Mountalneerl
The Big Horn Sentiael devotes a cou-
pie of columns to personal abuse of Regis
ter Wilson, of the Cheyenne land office.
The space occupied is probably the same
the Sentinel fondly but mistakenly hoped
to see filed with land notices from Mr..
Wilson's Office. The space thus occupied
is much more than is really necessary for
the airing of the actual grievance of the
Sentinel This grievance a less prolix
and tedious writer than the SenttneIs
editor could tell in a very few lines.
Boiled down it is simply this: The
Sentinel and Echo are both published IN
the town of Buffalo, johnson county;
MIR. Wilson exercised the privilege given
him by law, and gave the johnson county
patronage of the land office, of which he
is the register, to the Echo; the Sentinel
then offered to do the work for half the
money the Echo was doing it for, or half
the regular rates; Mr.. Wilson refused To
entertain the contemplate proposition,
whereupon the Sentinel attaches the
crank of SANDER to the mill of malice, and
grinds away as naturally as possible. The
Sentinel begins by saying hat 1T is
not always a pleasant duty to expose craft
and hypocrisy in high pllces. The re
ward is nothing. The Sentinel is correct
about the reward being nothing, but is
mistaken in regard to time. The reward
of nothing was bestowed by Mr.. Wilson
before the SentineE's article appeared,
and therefore could not be prospective.
Again the Sentinel says that its course
is a conservative one" CONSERVATIVE
is probably used by the Sentinel in the
sense of keeping or preserving, aud is
very likely a sad "reminiscences of its badly
broken uD intention of keeping and pre-
serving the land notices of the Cheyenne
land office.
The Sentinel ever travels so far out of
its way in attacking Mr.. Wilson as to
quote Scripture. One of these quotations
IS: Yea. | sought him and he could not
be found" The Sentinel missed an OPP
portunity here of offering a most peril
nent amendment by making the quota
ton read: Il found him and he would
not respond" By the way, the fact of
the Sentinel dropping into Scripture in
regard to this land office business suggests
that its editor may have been lately sadly
rejecting on the misfortunes of the money
changers Christ drove from the temple.

Aner the Coal Inspectorshlp.

j. L. Russell. of Almy, Uinta county,
is in the capital pushing his claims for
the Office of territorial inspector of coal
mines, which position is made vacant by
the resignation of Hon. P. j. Quealy, of
Carbon. The present incumbent will
soon assume control of the affairs of the
company which proposes to operate the
famous Blair mines, at Rock Springs.
MI. Russell is a practical coal miner
and a gentleman of great experience and
varied accomplishments in connection
with hat industry. He is the author of
the beneficial coal mining law, which was
passed at the last session Of the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Russell was a useful and sen
sible law maker, and as he spent the
greater portion of his life in
coal camps, Of a necessity thoroughly IN
derstands that business.

Endorsed by "Mark Twain,

S. H. Barrett's famous tented combi-
nation is winning golden opinions every
where. The press teens with laudatory
testimonials, and eminent individuals
grow eulogistic in its praise. The follow.
ing extract from a letter by MARK
Twain" to a gentleman of this city may
prove of interest:
Il certainly enjoyed Barrett's show
much more than any similar entertain
ment l ever attended. | never saw its
equal for brilliant and exceptional fea.
lures. The riding, acrobatic feats, and
areal acts are fascinating in the extreme;
the clowns, strange as it may seem, are
actually funny; the menagerie Is unusu
ally camplete and attractive; "Jo-Jo" is
the most remarkable human phenomenon
of the age; and, all in all, if you want a
good afternoons entertainment, | would
advise you to take in Barrett circus

A Hay Litigation.

A. Martin and J.. W. Collins VS.. Thos.
A. Douglas, is the title of the latest case
docketed by the clerk of the district court.
1t is denominated a replevin suit.
1t appears that Messrs. Martin and
Collins recently purchased a tract of rail-
road land from which Mr.. Douglas, who
owns a ranch near Egbert, has cut hay
every summer for several years. Whether
or not he was aware that the land had
changed hands is not known. Be that as
it may, he harvested the usual crop of
hay from Its surface during the present
season and stacked it. The plaintiffs
have attached the ricks, and the owner
ship of the property will be decided by
Judge Maginnis, unless the affair Is arbi-
trated before court convene again.

Thought They were Gu,ing Him.

Mk&E. j. Towslee and another gentle
man were partakine of a lunch in Ger
menia hall Sunday. Near them sat
Michael Reagan. a section boss, whose
headquarters are at Hillsdale station, a
few miles east of this city. Towslee and
his companion were gailY chatting, and
occasionally laughed at incidents which
they were recalling. Reagan eyed them
~viciously, but said nothing until they
started to leave the place, when he struck
at one of the gentlemen, remarking as he
did SO that no one could guy him if he
was Irish" Believing that Reagan was
intoxicated, the PAIR left him and walked
leisurely to Mr.. Towslee's place of bust

hours he consented to pay SIS for glass

A Genuine Veteran.

Capt. Jas. H. Dougherty, a Little
Laramie horse raiser, was in the city yes
terday. The gentleman is one of the few
captains one meets who earned the title
and bears it by right. The gentleman
had quite a varied experience during the
late unpleasantness, being wounded in
several hot engagements. He entered
the service as a private and was promoted
for bravery exhibited upon the field OF
battle. Capt. Dough4r ty is a quiet and
u%nassuming gentleman who seldom men
ION and never boasts of his exploits. He
was master of transportation for McClel-
lan's army of the Potomac and gained the
confidence and respect of his superior
officers while officiating in that capacity.

Maj. Talbot and Alderman Murray
were among the Cheyennites who re-
turned from the South last evening.
They we're billed to appear in this city
twenty four hours earlier. Just why
they failed to materialize was related to a
LEADER reporter by MIR. A. Adamsky
yesterday afternoon. The pair gave an
unannounced performance at Evans, Col,
during the day and night preceding their
recent advent in the Magic City. AT the
village near Greeley both gentlemen left
the train for a few minutes. The alder
man desired to view the Evans ice house
and inquire after the health of the city
council of that burg. The major caught
sight of a sign Oh which the name Tai
bot" appeared conspicuously displayed in
large letters. The veteran was deter
mined to interview his namesake if he
was compelled to s~ojourn in the granger
village for a week. Both gentlemen had
plenty of time TO accomplish their de-
sired objects. They pursued the train for
a short distance, bnt halted, amid the
encouraging yells of the Cheyenne delega-
ton as the locomotive speeded toward
Greeley.

tied by Mr. Rolf and Miss Hersey, who may
quite be considered Browning experts, so

writings of this most delightful and obscure
of poets. To student of Browning, the
